Pros
Great discounts, especially those exceeding 40%
Cons
Commission structure is useless, and UNFAIR, considering it doesn't matter how much you sell per shift, but how much you make for store in each individual sale. THINK ECONOMY!! After being at Chico's for 8 months, my highest sales have been in the $300's, mainly because of all the commission killing sales/promotions the store always seems to have. I only yesterday made my first sale that crossed the $400 mark - a $711 sale ($1144 before promotional discount.). I was VERY gipped out of any credit/commission for a high-end sale by my store manager. The customers (a daughter and wheel-chair bound mother) spent well over $500, after I worked tirelessly and exclusively for them (slow day) for over an hour. I was gathering another requested item, when I was shocked to find my store manager ringing in the customers' sale under her own assoc. #, claiming the women were "her" customers, and claimed to have greeted them at the entrance to store. (Big deal! I greet everyone who walks in the store. Doesn't mean I own them.) Despite that, the manager proceeded to completely ignore "her" customers, who were carrying several items of clothing to try on, which I took from her & placed in a dressing room. The ladies then asked ME for MY help. I worked tirelessly for the women, who my store manager continued to ignore. Just an aside -- My store manager has, since I started, consistently told me to take care of ALL incoming customers (when it's just the 2 of us & unless it gets too busy), so she can do her bookkeeping work. PRETTY SLEEZY way to steal my first real commission!!
